Also, we now have C-Span, there is a full record of the filibuster to rise when needed closer to the election.  Also, there is an effort to denigrate Paul’s efforts which means it will be in the Prog chatter.

The pleasant surprise was how many on the Left have voiced support for Paul’s filibuster. Paul has received praise from a variety of people and institutions, including: Code Pink, ACLU, Jon Stewart, Van Jones, Amy Goodman, Greg Sargent, Adam Sewer, Cenk Uygur, Glenn Greenwald, David Sirota, and John Cusack (I’m sure there’s more). That is quite a feat for a Republican.
